I grew up East Providence RI and have lived there my entire life. East Providence is a little different then most cities in RI. We are called the "Townies" for a reason. I grew up playing baseball, football, and soccer but love to play any sport and can get a little competitive sometimes. I played football and golf for my highschool. I really just love to be outdoors and nature. I started scuba diving when I was in eleventh grade and I started birding when I was in twelfth grade. I think my true passion is just observing nature and everything that it encompasses. I started out as a pre-physical therapy major here at URI and found that it just wasn't for me and decided that I would teach. It seems to be a perfect match so far. My content area's are general science and biology.
